  "abstract": "<p>As any developing country, lack of adequate infrastructure provision is an enormous problem in<br>\nEthiopia. When we see the case of Addis Ababa, the current coverage of sanitation service is very<br>\nlow. It is this very fact that has made the government of Ethiopia to extend a concerted effort to<br>\nimprove the condition. In doing so, the government has stated that, the policy for increasing the<br>\ncoverage as well as the proper use of any sustainability of the service requires implementation of a<br>\ncost recovery system. But this requires information on people&rsquo;s preferences and WTP for the<br>\nproposed improvement.<br>\nTherefore, the paper examined the determinants of willingness-to-pay for improved sanitation<br>\nservice and investigates the possibility of cost recovery policy directions using the contingent<br>\nvaluation method.</p>",
